The annual Bouvier Family Christmas was held on Christmas Eve Eve at Brett and Erin's house this year. We decided to have it a day early so that people weren't rushing around in between the Children's mass and "midnight" mass at 9 p.m. It was much more relaxed and low key since we didn't have to hurry up and get everything done in a short period of time. It was a lot of fun, especially since Santa made a guest appearance! Even during his busy season, he found the time to pop by and give the kids an early Christmas present. It was great to watch Connor as Santa entered the room. He was fascinated. He even sat on his lap (which he hasn't wanted to do in a few years). He didn't say much, and was Mr. Serious, but he was taking it all in.
Connor spent most of the day playing with his cousins in the playroom that was adjacent to the living room. All of the kids stayed in that room most of the day which left plenty of room for all of the adults. And there are a lot of adults. A lot.
Maeve and her cousin, James, showed up with similar outfits on. They were dubbed "Mr. and Mrs. Claus".
But, with 70 people in one house, it got a little warm, so off came the velour dress...
The day ended with a visit from some carolers and a viewing of Christmas Vacation. We hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas!
